Time 50m

Yield 20-30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or more if you like)
1 1/2-2 cups dried fruit (cranberry and blueberry are a great mix)
1 egg white
6 -8 ounces white chocolate

Steps:

Blend the wet ingredients together - mix well. Add the dry ingredients and the dried berries. The dough maybe a bit sticky.
Put some flour on your hands and divide the dough into 2 logs - 2 1/2 x 9 1/2 x1. Place on a cookie sheet line with parchment paper - I usually just place one log on a cookie sheet as they tend to spread a bit.
Whip the egg white and brush on top of the log. Bake for 30 min at 350 degrees. Cool on a wire rack.
Cut diagonally and place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake another 5 minutes. (stop now if you want a chewy biscotti) Flip to the other cut side and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
When cool drizzle or frost with melted white chocolate.
